Prominent Anti-Semitic Press Corp Leader Dies

Today Helen Thomas has died. Cause of her death is unknown, but her final destination is a rather hot place.

Helen Thomas, a pioneer for women in journalism, has died, Fox News confirms. She was 92.

A friend, Muriel Dobbin, says Thomas died at her apartment in Washington on Saturday morning. Dobbin says Thomas has been ill for a long time, had been in and out of the hospital, and had come home Thursday.

Thomas made her name as a bulldog for United Press International in the great wire-service rivalries of old. She used her seat in the front row of history to grill nine presidents -- often to their discomfort and was not shy about sharing her opinions.

She was persistent to the point of badgering; one White House press secretary described her questioning as "torture" -- and he was one of her fans.
